Message For the Day…” God Gives Whatever You Pray for…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

A man who had four wives happened to go to Mumbai on some work. From there, he wrote to all of them that he was prepared to bring home whatever each of them wanted. The first wife asked for some nice tonics for her health, as well as rugs and woollen clothing to be of service whenever she fell ill. The second wife wanted some sarees of the latest style, jewellery of the Mumbai type and such other sundry decorative stuff. The third asked him to select for her some religious books like the Jnaneshwari, abhangs, etc. available in Mumbai book-shops, as well as pictures of Pandharinath, Bhavani and Sai Baba. The fourth wife had no list at all; she simply wrote, “If you return soon and safe, that is enough for me.” The others got big packets containing whatever they had asked for, but the last one got his love. God gives you whatever you pray for; so think well and discriminate clearly before you pray and ask.

Message For the Day…” Every Human Being is an ‘ Amsavatar’…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

Oblivious to the presence of the Divine within, people embark on the quest for God. They behave like a person who goes to borrow milk from their neighbour, forgetting the wish-fulfilling cow (Kamadhenu) in their backyard. Avatars are of two kinds: Amsavatar and Purnavatar. Every human being is an Amsavatar (partial incarnation of the Divine); in the Gita, Lord Krishna says, ‘a part of the Divine Soul has become the individual soul in the world of living beings (Mamaivaamso jeevaloke jeevabhutah-sanaatanah)’. Many partial incarnations get caught up in Maya (worldly illusion), develop egoism and possessiveness, and lead worldly lives. Purnaavatar (full incarnation of the Divine) may behave, according to the circumstances, as if they were subject to Maya, but they are free from Maya at all times. They subdue and transcend Maya, and manifest their full Divinity to the world throughout their lives.

20 Quick and easy ways to make you and your friends smile, grin and laugh!

[1] Regular naps prevent old age, especially if you take them while driving..

[2] Having one child makes you a parent; having two makes you an area referee.

[3] Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the other is the husband

[4] I believe we should all pay our tax with a smile. I tried – but they wanted cash.

[5] A child’s greatest period of growth is the month after you’ve purchased new school uniforms.

[6] Don’t marry the person you want to live with, marry the one you cannot live without, but whatever you do, you’ll regret it later.

[7] You can’t buy love, but you pay heavily for it.

[8] Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.

[9] Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired..

[10] Marriage is give and take. You’d better give it to her or she’ll take it anyway.

[17] Saving is the best thing. Especially when your parents have done it for you.

[18] They call our language the mother tongue because the father seldom gets to speak!

Message For The Day…” Only When Your Mind Is Pure, You Can Realise The Divinity In You …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

There are several, who, despite chanting the Lord’s name for several hours, days and months together, did not transform themselves even one bit. The demonic nature of Ravana, Bhasmasura and Kamsa did not diminish even a little, despite their chanting of the Lord’s name. What is the reason for this? All their sense organs function with the feeling: “I am the body (Aham Dehosmi).” Those who utter the name of the Lord while being immersed in body consciousness cannot realise the Divine, however long their penance may last. You are the embodiment of Divine Consciousness. Only when you are pure, you can experience that consciousness. Through attachment to worldly pleasures one gets bound to the physical and becomes oblivious to one’s essential Divinity.

Message For The Day…” Never Be Egoistic of Your Knowledge… “

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

Educare guides a person to be humble, it grants a sense of discrimination endowed with wisdom. Why should anyone feel proud in being educated? Ultimately isn’t what he or she has attained a fraction of all learning? Never be egoistic of the knowledge you have acquired. Education is true, only when you direct it to render service to the society. Humility must be the crest jewel ornament of an educated person; it is truly the essence of education. It must reflect in our daily conduct and behavior, and should not be simply limited to occasional verbal expressions. People with humility, and obedience to parents and elders will achieve great success in their lives. Through your own words and actions, you must manifest the latent values by engaging yourselves in appropriate acts.

Message For The Day…” Live Happily in the Present …Past is Past …Forget …”

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

We either think of the past or the future and ruin the present. Past is past, forget it. The past which is dead and gone, is useless. Work for your progress by living in the present, and in the moment. Future does not always bring happiness. And so far as the past is concerned, how much happiness have you experienced in it? Therefore, live happily in the present. What should we do in the present? Follow this maxim: Less luggage more comfort makes travel a pleasure. We should not worry about the past at all. Thinking about the past will not do any good to us. Therefore we should lead our life in the present and achieve all-round progress

Message For the Day…” Trust Your Self Confidence…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

When a tree sways with the wind, its branches bend and toss up and down. But the tiny bird sitting on it is not afraid? Why? Because the bird relies on its wings. Even if the branch falls down, as long as its wings are fine, it is safe. With this realization, the bird sits bravely on the swaying branch. However, human beings do not have so much faith as a tiny bird. Even with the slightest problems on the tree of life, people get very worried, why? It is because they have lost their self-confidence. Even at the slightest suffering, people are frustrated, depressed and unable to bear. Instead of depending on your intelligence, physical strength or wealth, trust your self-confidence. Do good deeds; let every step and all your efforts be directed to win His Grace and proximity. Then, you will surely triumph!

Message For the Day…” Never Submit Yourself to the Evil Qualities…”

NatarajanLeave a comment

 

Each and every one of you is a spark of the Divine. Lord Krishna declares in Bhagavad Gita, “You are all essentially Divine, you are eternal and ancient. Do not conduct yourself as a human being nor be beastial in your attitude and behavior”. Each one of you is endowed with the sacred qualities of Truth, Righteousness, Love, Peace and Non-Violence. Hence, all of you must conduct yourself in accordance with these noble virtues. Never submit yourself to the evil qualities such as lust, greed, anger, jealousy, hatred and avarice. These do not befit the life of any human being. At times, changes in place or food habits give rise to other behavioural tendencies. Hence, be aware and take pure food and pure water regularly and in a timely manner. Lead a happy life, as a true human being, by observing all the rules and regulations.
